Rising Chicago Artist Rod212 Debuts Phenomenal New Track “Really Not Okay”
Blurring the lines of hip-hop and R&B, Rod212 is a rising artist/producer born and raised in Chicago. In college, he stumbled upon a YouTube video of Soulja Boy making beats and spent that summer immersed in endless FruityLoops tutorial sessions. Motivated by the undeniable magnetism of Drake and the vivacious energy of Skrillex, he perused his late mother’s records for inspiration and coveted samples. As a producer, Rod212 crafted beats for other artists until he decided to compete as a lyricist and artist in his own right.
Now with several well-received releases of his own under his belt, Rod212 is kicking off 2023 with a bang with the release of his brand-new single, “Really Not Okay”. The track is an instant earworm with its infectious hook and Rod212’s pulsating rap delivery and lyrical abilities on clear display. The track is boosted further by the lush vocals of featured artists Sal Ly and Rico Maz.
With lyrics such as “I’m stronger now more than ever / I’m doing better / That’s right I’m doing okay”, the track’s universal lyrical themes will easily resonate with listeners. Elaborating further, Rod212 says, “It’s hard to let people know about our pain and the things we think are wrong. We want people to tell us everything is okay, but the truth is, sometimes it’s not okay. This song is for anyone who has experienced love and heartbreak.” “Really Not Okay” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/enkdega.

Mvss’ latest single, “Fundamental,” is a bold declaration of resilience, cultural pride, and unshakable determination. Featuring Baltimore powerhouse Butch Dawson, the track captures the essence of navigating today’s challenges while holding tight to the values passed down through generations. The production, with its booming bassline and subtle melodic layers, is a perfect foundation for Mvss’ commanding delivery. His opening lines immediately draw you into his world, where survival is an art, and success feels revolutionary. “Living life, making this money might look like a miracle,” he raps, weaving personal storytelling with broader cultural reflections.
Butch Dawson’s verse adds grit and urgency, balancing Mvss’ introspection with hard-hitting truths. His intricate wordplay and raw energy amplify the song’s impact, delivering lines like, “It’s a maze, but I never stress.” Together, they craft an anthem that’s equal parts empowering and confrontational, showcasing a synergy that feels both effortless and electric. As a preview of Mvss’ upcoming EP, Revolt, “Fundamental” is a statement piece, proving that hip-hop can be both deeply personal and powerfully universal. This is music that doesn’t just entertain—it challenges, uplifts, and inspires.
